Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff and Ferrari team boss Frederic Vasseur have been friends for a long time. After his victory in Melbourne, Wolff spoke about the success of his friend and competitor…
Toto Wolff: “I remember when we flew together from Dubai to Melbourne last year. Frederick had a ruptured intervertebral disc and was unable to sit or lie down. He was on the plane for 13 hours. Subsequently, one of his cars was involved in an accident in Melbourne and the other earned no points. It was a disaster. A year later he won the winning double! Ferrari deserves it. And Italy deserves it.
This year Sainz not only lost his appendix, but also his contract extension with Ferrari. Our friendship with Wasser was in no way affected by his contract with Lewis. There is no bad blood about Hamilton. Formula 1 is a complex business in which everyone wants the best for themselves and their team. When it became clear that Fred would take on the role of team leader, it became clear to me that he would do everything he could to strengthen Ferrari. And this means that you invite not only smart employees, but also the best racers.”
